How do I kill a sarco? sarco battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Best not go near the sea of taming these guys
They take wide turns so stick close to their sides and stab them. Good Luck out there:)
I was given a thylacoleo and I was making my way through the swamp when I was ambushed a sarco it broke half my armour and almost killed but my thylac knocked it out so I decided to tame it. Once it was tamed, I was ambushed by another one which killed my sarco (Killer Crok) and almost killed me but I escaped with my thylac and never went to the swamp again,.
These guys just like to come out of nowhere and bite your Butt off.
Yo I’m sure like no one plays on Valguero but if y’all do…. WHERE DO I FIND ONE. THEY ARE LITERALLY ABSENT
They can swim fast enough to keep up with the raft. I build the back of my raft with stone foundations and walls for this reason.
There's a 50 percent chance these will spawn AS SOON AS YOU SPAWN IN THE SOUTH ZONE 2
Sarcos are so dumb. Here is why-
I needed dodo kibble so I tamed a dodo. After getting the egg, i decided to kill it by targeting a sarco. Guess what, my dodo killed the sarco. Here are the levels- My dodo- Lvl 14 The Sarco- Lvl 20
If you encounter one of these run into a trike and the trike will kill the sarco and then you can look into the sarco inventory to find some really good loot if you are lucky
Don’t stand on a wild one, you may get flung away, and you can get killed, just a warning idk if it’s a glitch on my phone or something, just be careful
After TLC 2 these things became monstrous. With a leap attack and a death roll the Sarco is now just as if not more dangerous than the Kapro in terms of swamp encounters.
Me and my 2 dilos were chillin, and outta nowhere a Sarco came-only have 16 stone arrows and a master craft bow, and the Sarco can reach us on the rock I jumped on- one spear, I don’t know whether to fight it or..
Might sounds crazy (I know, it is actually crazy) ;
But the easiest way to kill it is to go for a swim
If you're on land, he would just bit you, and again and again
Even if you're on a small mount, the deathroll would dismount you, leaving your bloody body on side
When he's swimming, he'd keep going around with a huge turn radius, makes it easier to kill it
If you encounter a Sarco watch out for the death spin (I really mean it)
one spawn that you will always find them at is in between the two snow mountains they get pretty big there
Only go near one its out of the water. Try to avoid them if you are a beginner. If one charges stay away from the water. It may seem slow, but it can lunge with shocking speed. Do not climb on a rock, it can lunge and bite you. Run away and stay on land. Sprinting helps.
Keep your distance when you see him and don’t go anywhere in the water remotely near to him! They are quick
Battle Tip: Sarco 🐊
1. Don’t go near it’s mouth. If the sarco does a spin attack you will be suck in.
2. Lead it away from the water, if you are in the water may as well wait for your respawn cool down.
3. MAKE SURE ITS NOT NEAR YOUR TAMES!
I was on my raft this dude came out of nowhere I was trying to find the engrams for the longbow he just layed there looking like he found a unicorn so my survival instincts killed him. ;) I’m trying to tame one. But I can’t.
This is the only reason that im bad at ark. It just keeps on camping one area. Behind that area there’s a whole lotta Silca pearls. The only other way to get to the other side would be swimming in water infested with megladons. R.I.P me.
